1 oimmune_disease Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the body attacks its own cells. 1
2 /ency/article/ htm In patients with an autoimmune disorder, the immune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and antigens. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues. ents-and-families/about-pi/ are caused by errors in the genes of the cells that make up the immune system autoimmunediseases.html There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases 2

IS A correct response of the body protecting you from additional toxins or inferior cells The body constantly replaces inferior or old cells. If the raw materials that the body uses to make new cells are toxic or acidic, the new cells will also be toxic. That is why the immune system keeps attacking the cells. 3
4 In the intestine there are villi and microvilli that suck up the nutrients from the bowel, allowing them to enter into the blood stream. These nutrients are what the body uses to make and replace cells. Clean Bowel Produces Healthy Cells Toxic Bowel Produces Less Than Healthy Cells 4
